LAKE MARY, Fla., Oct. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- FARO® (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted
source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions for factory
metrology, product design, construction BIM/CIM, public safety
forensics and 3D solutions and services applications, announces an
extended partnership with Siteco Informatica to bring affordable
mobile mapping, using FARO Focus3D Laser Scanners, to
users worldwide.
This partnership pairs FARO's worldwide sales network with
Siteco's technical expertise in mobile mapping systems to launch
the new Road-Scanner C "Compact Edition". Under this partnership
arrangement, FARO will provide a global sales network to market the
Road-Scanner C and Siteco will sell, install and support the
systems.
The Road-Scanner C is a state-of-the-art system that is more
flexible than competitive systems and priced to appeal to a broad
market of users who need to capture existing infrastructure for
applications such as utility pole location, electric transmission
and distribution lines, etc.
The system is equipped with two FARO Focus3D Laser
Scanners, a 30 megapixel 360° spherical camera and Siteco software.
The flexibility to detach the Focus3D Laser Scanners and
use them independently as stand-alone laser scanners sets this
solution apart from conventional mobile mapping systems and greatly
improves the ROI for customers.
"We at Siteco are very excited about our new collaboration with
FARO and its world-wide sales and marketing network. This network
will help Siteco expand into geographical regions beyond our reach
while championing the popular FARO brand into an exciting and
growing mobile mapping market," stated Augusto Burchi, CEO of Siteco.
"At FARO, customers are the center of all our activities and we
continuously strive to meet their needs," stated Dr. Simon Raab, President and CEO of FARO. "We have
customers inquiring about mobile mapping solutions and, through our
collaboration with Siteco, we can now help them solve more of their
applications."
